This raw footage is a continuation of various Solo Espada (Single Sword) technical sparring sessions from the previous months, between myself (Josh H - Yellow Barung, tattoos, converse, green shirt, green pants) and another Kalis Ilustrisimo Instructor (John S - Black Bolo, sneakers, board shorts, grey long sleeve shirt).
We were focusing on points brought up by our Blade Master, Ray Floro, in a recent Instructor Sparring Day (video on HMA's Youtube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxsshccZtjBq-5tBNRdv0woOjkrFb4VSK ).
We are still primarily fighting in the 'Media' or 'Halfway' range, bridging the gap between Corto (Close/Short) and Largo (Long) to extend the exchanges through hand-fighting counters, une pulgada (one inch rule) evasions, use of the support hand, non-telegraphic striking and Reti-Rada footwork patterns . We were doing this to close the gaps in our defence before we focus on our entries for Corto, "washing the hands" counters and definitive finishes.
This video shouldn't be seen as an instructional video at all. Kalis Ilustrisimo is an advanced blade system with incredibly subtle movements, with a heavy emphasis on measurement and timing, that don't translate well to video or group classes. I highly recommend finding an instructor from our style in your area that offers private one-on-one tuition if you want to learn more about blade on blade fighting techniques and principles.
If you are determined to use a video as a learning tool, GM Ray Floro has amazing instructional videos for sale on his website listed below.
Many thanks and the utmost respect to our Blade Masters, GM Ray Floro, GM Romeo 'Mang Romy' Macapagal and their teacher the late GM Antonio 'Tatang' Ilustrisimo, for sharing, guiding and mentoring us through such a beautifully technical blade system.
I hope this video helps a few fellow FMA practitioners with their own techniques, counters and application. All the best with your sparring!
